Jennifer Manuel explores the complexity of belonging through the reflections of a nurse in a First Nations community.
A SENSE OF BELONGING is critical to our quality of life, but what exactly does it mean? While our connection to neighbours, friends, family and other local networks is obviously part of it, as soon as I shift my view to a wider perspective of, in my case, being a settler on unceded territory in BC, the notion of belonging becomes much more complicated.
In her new, debut novel, Duncan resident, writer and educator Jennifer Manuel looks head-on at the complexity of belonging in such a situation. The Heaviness of Things that Float (Douglas & McIntyre) centres around the dying days of nurse Bernadette Perkals' 40 years of service in the fictional northern Vancouver Island reserve community of Tawakin. Her story draws on Manuel's own experience of living and working in isolated aboriginal communities, and her realization that no matter how far she went from home or how close she became with those around her, she could not escape her difference and her privilege.
That struggle is part of the conversation that Manuel felt needed to be included in our literature at a time when all of us sharing this land must work towards long-overdue reconciliation—another word not so easy to define.
Manuel is a 40-something non-aboriginal transplant to coastal BC. Born in Toronto, she grew up in White Rock and now lives with her husband in Duncan. Over her years here, Manuel has worked for the Ktunaxa Treaty Council; chaired a national committee on aboriginal archives; worked alongside aboriginal non-profits to deliver education to vulnerable adults in Vancouver; and taught for several years on the lands of the Tahltan and Nuu-chah-nulth peoples, first in Dease Lake and later on the exposed northern edge of the Island at Kyuquot, where she was eventually adopted by elder Kelly John and given the name aa ap wa iick—Always Speaks Wisely.
Manuel has continued to advocate for First Nations education issues generally, and now in this book she gives non-First Nations readers some valuable lessons: about self-awareness, self-questioning, and the need to work at understanding others without ever assuming you completely can.
Though the novel begins with Bernadette's imminent departure, it's also about arrival and what we each bring with us in that moment of meeting. Bernadette was in her 20s when she came to the nurse's outpost, situated across a cove from the 100-person reserve. A week later, a local man asked her "Do you know about Raven?" and she answered: "Tapping at my chamber door." She didn't know then how revealing it was to complete Poe's line: "Only this and nothing more."
Gradually, Bernadette becomes open to the stories she is told to listen for—that she's told grow in the eelgrass, fly on the crows' wings, unfurl in the ferns, or turn with the tide among the kelp. The new ways of hearing, seeing and being she learns in Tawakin shift her understanding, and over time, Bernadette becomes more aware of—and in tension with—her privilege living among people she has come to deeply love.
The novel's plot driver is the disappearance of Chase Charlie, a 33-year-old man who Bernadette had delivered, known all his life, and cared about as if he was her own son. That love breaks her heart open to the fact that she feels the people of Tawakin are her family, the outpost the only home she's known as an adult. But she's also torn by having to break away and return to south Island city life "made to fit people like me." In doing so, she must confront her assumptions about the nature of her belonging, uncomfortably asking herself: "Exactly who was I to the people of Tawakin?"
Being the nurse, the "secretary of secrets," means Bernadette shares people's intimate and often hidden histories. But as a mamulthni, a white person, she painfully discovers that she's kept out of the loop of people's lives. Despite her intentions and her commitment, there are things the local people feel she just wouldn't understand. "My heart," Bernadette says, feeling that pain of divide, "filled with sand, with stones."
As the title suggests, the book deals with concepts of weight, displacement, and the thin line between floating and sinking. And the physical landscape, described with sensuous detail, teaches that where some might see ambiguity or uncertainty, there is possibility. "Like how the gathering of black clouds might bring rain, or maybe hail, or maybe no precipitation at all…Neither the sea nor the sky nor the stories can ever be controlled." Indeed, in navigating the land and the people of Tawakin, it is important to learn that "Things in the world were not all they appeared to be."
"It took being in a couple of faraway places to change perspective," Manuel tells me of her own experience. Working as the treaty archivist in Cranbrook changed her life, she says, referring to a moment when she realized some elders were laughing at her in their own language—that uncomfortable position on the other side of the fence gave her a completely different view. Of her then-20s self Manuel now laughs: "You think you know so much."
She was also changed by the women who ran the treaty council and the nation, women she worked with, like Sophie Pierre. "Savvy and powerful, driven with vision," Manuel says. "I wanted to be them." Then, when she lived in Kyuquot, she watched her young daughters flourish, excited by new ways of living and learning.
Like Manuel, Bernadette eventually sees the presumptuousness, the unconscious bias inherent in the concept of measuring aboriginal communities in relation to urban centres, of thinking of them as being "far away from everything." One person's middle of nowhere is somebody else's rich and beautiful centre of the world.
Structurally, the story unrolls like an incoming tide. The narrative pushes forward incrementally, pulls back over the polished stones of Bernadette's reflections, then, collecting power, surges ahead a little more. In this way, knowledge and insight are uncovered slowly, rhythmically, over the pulses of her life story and the story of her relationships with Tawakin's people. And as with a rising tide, you find yourself surprised by how far and how gently things have moved to close the space between you.
Ultimately, that's what we can all do: try and close the space between ourselves and others. One of the lessons to be learned from Bernadette's sadder moments of connection in Tawakin, both as a nurse and a human being, is that even when you haven't managed to understand someone the way you'd hoped, you still help each other out of a sense of empathy and human respect that transcends difference.
"People who come up to me at readings are so passionate," says Manuel, fresh from several appearances at the Victoria Festival of Authors. "People want to make things right." To the obvious question of "how?" she admits: "I don't have an answer. People will flounder and might feel hopeless. Maybe that's okay—as long as hopelessness is not the end. But it can be the start."
The award-winning Manuel, who has previously published short fiction, also started the online TRC Reading Challenge, where people sign up and commit to reading the Truth and Reconciliation report. So far, about 3,500 people have taken the pledge. "People know it's not enough, but it's a way to publicly say 'I'm listening.'" Manuel believes an important step in confronting colonial privilege is to "listen deeply when you have the chance, including with the TRC, and that means having an openness to be changed by what you hear."
Perhaps the foundation of belonging is built on that kind of curious and humble self-opening—an exchange where we both reach out and take in, creating, as Manuel writes, "the invitation to believe something new."
Writer, editor, and musician Amy Reiswig is going to give herself the winter/holiday gift of taking on the TRC Reading Challenge and doing some serious listening.

Taking a look at the Cerium LT by Arc'teryx.
I picked up the Cerium LT from GearTrade.com, used, but in really good shape (it looks brand new, just no tags) for a really good price. I had checked out the jacket in stores a few times, and really liked it, especially for it's warmth and pack-ability.
The primary purpose for this jacket for me, was for a trip to Europe (Sweden, Italy, and Germany) in the middle of winter. So I needed something warm, easy to layer, and easy to pack up for flights and other moving around. The Cerium LT seemed like a perfect fit.
During the trip I used the Cerium LT almost every day, with a few exceptions on some warmer days in Italy. But in Sweden and Germany, it was one of my layers every day.
A dry and warm ~40°F day in Stockholm, Sweden.
I generally wore a SmartWool 150 weight base layer, an Arc'teryx Fortrez hoody, then the Arc'teryx Cerium LT. Then on extra cold or wet days, I would wear my First Tactical Tactix Parka shell over all of that. That combination worked for me across all 3 countries, ranging from about 45°F to 28°F, including sun, rain and snow.
The long and short of it is, in my mind, with the Cerium LT if you're someone that runs warm, is planning a lot of activity, or has plans to layer (base, mid and shell), it'll work great as a layer for freezing or below freezing temperatures. If you are planning to just use this jacket, without other layers and plan to only stroll around in freezing temperatures, you'll need more than this jacket (unless you run REALLY warm).
All of that being said, this is an awesome jacket for dry and cool-to-cold climates, and if you are someplace that is a bit above freezing, it almost doesn't require any layering (for me).
The only thing I didn't really love with the day to day use of the Cerium LT was that it doesn't have a chest or inside pocket.
One thing that I ended up using, literally every day, was the chest pocket of my Fortrez hoody. There were days I could have gone without the Fortrez and only the Cerium, but because the Cerium only has the two side pockets, I ended up wearing the Fortrez as well.
If the Cerium was a little more robust in the pocket department, it would have been even more usable for me.
In my book that is a pretty minimal thing, but if you plan to carry a lot of stuff with whatever you're doing, the Cerium LT doesn't have a lot of pocket options.
Here's a feature list from Arc'teryx.
Airetica™—100% nylon, 34 g/m². Tightly constructed, high tenacity, 20×10 denier ripstop nylon with a smooth hand.

Q: How can I show InfluxDb tags only for todays date? I am having trouble getting this query in InfluxDb to work properly.  Wondering if someone can help.
I want to show tag values but only for the current days data.  I have this
SHOW TAG VALUES FROM table WITH KEY = "name"

This list shows all values from the full measurement.  I want to only show values for data that was inserted today.
I've tried
  SHOW TAG VALUES FROM table WITH KEY = "name" where date='2018-10-23'
  SHOW TAG VALUES FROM table WITH KEY = "name" where time='2018-10-23'

as well as some other variations but can't seem to get this right.
Does anyone know how to properly form this query?
I am using this as a variable inside Grafana.
Thanks

A: For select time you mast define time range, start and end.
This is working solution.
SHOW TAG VALUES FROM table WITH KEY = "name" where time>='2020-04-26T00:00:00Z' AND time<'2020-04-27T00:00:00Z'

A: Time condition is not supported in SHOW TAG VALUES query - there is an issue for that https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/5668. You can find a workaround with a continuous query in that issue comments.

A: how about use subquery? instead of "show tag values"
like this
# show tag values from with key = "TAGName" where condition
select TagName from (select field, TagName from Measurement where condition)

it return timestamp with tag values

A: Can't upvote answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/58404465/18224224 but this solution has worked for me.
select "tag_name" from (select "field_value", "tag_name" from "table" WHERE "tag_name_filter" = 'tag_value_filter' AND  $timeFilter group by "tag_name" LIMIT 1)

$timefilter variable will automatically use dashboard time range selected if variable uses refresh : on time range change

Bill seeks 100% renewable energy generation in Puerto Rico by 2050
SAN JUAN – Puerto Rico Senate Vice President Larry Seilhamer and Minority Leader Eduardo Bhatia, along with a working group, introduced Wednesday a proposed regulatory framework and energy policy bill that would pave the way for the transformation of the bankrupt Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (Prepa) and would deal with the effects climate change.
"The bill would allow a robust, accessible and efficient system" for bidding power companies to heed the island's energy policies, Seilhamer said.
Sens. Larry Seilhamer, second from left, and Eduardo Bhatia, center (Courtesy)
The legislation calls for Puerto Rico to generate power using only renewable energy by 2050 and would end Prepa's monopoly. It also establishes energy-saving requirements for all agencies, the noncompliance of which could result in the violating agency having its budget cut. Hearings on the bill are slated to start Oct. 26.
Seilhamer said that if the island's Financial Oversight and Management Board "wants to help" it must lobby Congress to have it exempt Puerto Rico from the maritime cabotage laws that require goods to be shipped on U.S.-flagged vessels. The objective is to reduce the cost to transport natural gas, whose use as a fuel will serve as a transition to the use of renewables.
The filed bill would eliminate the use of coal by 2027, as well as phase out bunker C oil, which no longer complies with federal environmental standards.
The legislation does not address Prepa's $9 billion debt because the issue is in an in-court bankruptcy-like process, "But the bill calls for the agreement with creditors to be honored," Seilhamer said.
The bipartisan bill takes into account the effects of climate change and would require the island to aggressively transition to renewables. It defines the responsibilities of all energy providers, which would be regulated by the Puerto Rico Energy Bureau (PREB).
The regulator will have operational and fiscal autonomy through certain fees levied on energy providers. The legislation will grant PREB the power to impose fines for violations, which could be charged as misdemeanors, and to enforce the bill's mandates.
"The PREB will have more money and more teeth," Bhatia said.
"This bill is the result of months of meetings, collaborations, studies and the input of different groups and people who contributed to what should be the transformation of the electrical system. The purpose is to have a Puerto Rico with a robust, resilient, affordable and reliable system.
"To this end, we are promoting the reconstruction, modernization and updating of the transmission and distribution system of the network. The monopoly is put to an end as we know it today to give way to competition in power generation and fuel diversity," Seilhamer said.
"The legislation calls for a new portfolio of renewable energy, which states that by 2025 we will have 20 percent of the energy coming from renewables; by 2040 it will be 50 percent and by 2050 it will be 100 percent. This goal of renewable energy was worked on with the executive branch, and the governor asked us to include 100 percent by 2050. With this, we promote the aggressive transition from the use of fossil fuel for the generation of energy to the integration of renewable energy," Seilhamer Rodriguez reiterated.
The also chairman of the Special Senate Committee on Energy Affairs added that the measure includes proposals provided by a working group, including Sen. Bhatia; Pablo Vázquez, president of the Engineers & Land Surveyors Association; Tomás Torres, director of the Institute of Competitiveness and Economic Sustainability (ICSE); the Rocky Mountain Institute group; University of Puerto Rico Prof. Luis Aníbal Avilés; and the executive director of the Advisory Commission for a Resilient Puerto Rico, Malu Blázquez Arsuaga.
Torres said the ICSE undertook a public collaborative effort with more than 41 groups to make the proposals, such as those for renewables, a strong regulator and the inclusion of energy cooperatives.
"The bill provides for the creation of energy coops that would unite technology and consumers," he said.
Bhatia said the bill introduces the concept of prosumers, or those who combine the roles of producer and consumer. For instance, electric grid customers who also produce power and could share the surplus of energy with other users.
"Since 2014, advances in technology have been tremendous, and will allow more and more Puerto Ricans to become energy prosumers, that is, that we can have the capacity to produce energy as well as consume it," Bhatia added. "The concept of being prosumers should be embraced by all of Puerto Rico and have thousands of families taking advantage of the concept."
Seilhamer pointed out that the bill promotes the use of small-scale powerplants that have the capacity to operate with multiple fuels that minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
"The contracting parties that buy or operate generation assets of Prepa must modernize the plants or replace them with highly efficient plants in a period no longer than five years from the signing of the sale contract. This will have the effect of eradicating highly polluting fossil fuels such as bunker C.
"Likewise, the plants should have more modern technology, high efficiency and the ability to integrate distributed generation and renewable energy into the transmission and distribution network. The greater efficiency of the plants, and cleaner and cheaper fuel will result in savings in the pocket of consumers," he said.
In the same way, the bill would require that all electrical service companies, including Prepa, comply with the integrated resource plan approved by the Energy Bureau.
The filed measure also facilitates interconnection to the transmission and distribution network by any available mechanism, including distributed generation, renewable energy sources, net-metering and the use of micro networks.
"The distributed generation capacity that can be interconnected to the electricity grid is increased from 10 [kilowatts] to 25 kilowatts," Seilhamer said.
Finally, 10 percent of the payments received with respect to Prepa's transactions will go to a Green Energy Fund to help finance the use of renewables.
Meanwhile, Prepa's board has lacked a consumer representative for more than a year. Torres, who is vying for the seat, said the bill will make changes in the law that will allow him to fill it.

Martin Bormann (17 June 1900 – 2 May 1945) was a Nazi Party official who during the later years of World War II became a very powerful man serving as the private secretary of Adolf Hitler. He controlled both access to Hitler and the information which Hitler received. Hitler also appointed him the head of the Nazi Party Chancellery (Parteikanzlei). Bormann gained many enemies over the years, including Heinrich Himmler and Albert Speer. In the latter years of the war, he was considered Hitler's "right-hand" man.[1] Bormann was a dedicated atheist and wanted to wipe out Christianity in the German Reich. Bormann declared, "More and more the people must be separated from the churches and their organs, the pastors."[2]
Nazi official
He was born in Prussia, Germany. He attended high school for one year and then dropped out. He serviced in an artillery regiment late in World War I. After the war, he joined a Freikorps unit to fight German communists. He took part in the murder of a communist who allegedly reported on Freikorps sabotage to French occupation officials. For his part in the murder, Bormann served a year in prison.[3]
Bormann joined the Nazi Party in February 1927. In September 1929, Bormann married the daughter of an early Nazi Party official. Hitler attended the wedding. Bormann was made a Reich Leader (Reichsleiter) of the Nazi Party on 10 October 1933. The following month, he became a member of the Reichstag. In 1939, Hitler turned over control of his personal finances to Bormann. From July 1933 until May 1941, Bormann served as the personal secretary for Rudolf Hess. On 10 May 1941, the flight by Hess to Britain, in the vain hope to negotiate peace, cleared the way for Bormann to take his place. Bormann was appointed the chief of the Nazi Party Chancellery on 12 May 1941. In that position, he had control over the appointment of Nazi Party positions and over handling the affairs of the Party.[4] Bormann proved to be a master of climbing the ladder of the Nazi Party and his ruthlessness allowed him to gain much power from May 1941, forward. Bormann gained control over the setting of Hitler's appointments, access to Hitler and the flow of information he would receive. On 12 April 1943, Bormann was officially confirmed in the position he had already been performing as "Personal Secretary to the Führer". Hitler typically only gave verbal orders. As Hitler's private secretary, Bormann would convey Hitler's orders to others in writing, by phone or telex; at times, Bormann would issue his own orders in Hitler's name.[5][6]
Bormann had Hitler's trust and remained loyal to him until the end. Trapped with Hitler in the Berlin Führerbunker in late April 1945, Bormann was named to head the Nazi Party. During those final days of the war, Bormann convinced Hitler to remove Hermann Goering from power. On the night following Hitler's suicide of 30 April, Bormann left the Führerbunker as part of a group attempting to break out from the Soviet Red Army encirclement of Berlin. He did not make it and committed suicide on 2 May 1945. Bormann was convicted "in absentia" by the allied Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal as a war criminal in 1946. In 1972, due to construction in an area of Berlin, some human remains were found.[7] By DNA testing in 1998, a skull was conclusively confirmed to be that of Martin Bormann.[8]
Bormann was known as a ruthless and cruel man. A dedicated Nazi, he was vehemently against Christianity and believed it was "incompatible" with Nazism. During the war, he pushed for attacks on the Christian churches which resisted Nazism. He also pushed for the killing of Jews. After the war, he wanted Hitler to completely crush the Christian churches and their leaders.[9][10]

Happy New Year from the Acorn Media group. We hope everyone is looking forward to a busy and fun term.
Thank you to John Coutts from the Smith Museum in Stirling for coming in and working with us!
On Thursday 17th December we're asking everyone to wear their Christmas jumpers or something Christmassy to school and donate £1 as part of the 'Text Santa' campaign, which raises money for three amazing causes – Macmillan Cancer Support, the Make a Wish Foundation and Save the Children.
On Friday 11th December our Whole School tucked into their Christmas lunch. Thank-you to our parent helpers who happily served the food. This allowed staff and pupils to enjoy their Christmas lunch together.

As we mentioned in an earlier post, many of the co-workers at El Camp are also campers in real-life. With the camp spirit alive, we'd like to share some more camping experiences with you.
When most people think about the California coast line, visions of that scenic stretch of cliffs and mountains around Big Sur spring to mind. While technically the camp ground I'm going to tell you about is just South of Big Sur, it's close enough and beautiful enough that I think you'll forgive me.
I started camping at Lime Kiln Redwoods State Park as a child going with my family and friends. I've continued doing this as an adult with my own kids because it's still just a little slice of heaven on California's picturesque Highway 1. Located between historic Hearst Castle and Big Sur proper, you have plenty of options for day trips, but you might not want to leave camp.
Lime Kiln is located in a small canyon that starts you out with a beautiful beach (mixture of rocks and sand) and takes you back into a Redwood forest. Hiking trails in the forest leads you through gorgeous fern- and clover-covered landscape as you follow the creak up to a 100-foot waterfall and to the old lime kilns that were instrumental in rebuilding San Francisco after the fire of 1906. You can also hike up the hills to get an amazing view of the coastline (and a pretty good workout).
The campground has hot showers and each site has a fire pit. There is plenty of wildlife to be seen, ranging from banana slugs to the occasional blue whale. Just watch out for the raccoons, they will steal your food if you aren't looking.
It is a smallish campground, so you'll need to make your reservations early, but it is also available for day use. If you happen to be driving up the coast, make sure to stop in and check it out.
These pictures from my last trip don't quite do it justice, so check it out if you get the chance. Happy camping!

ESPN: In letter, Pac-12's George Kliavkoff cites 'significant' financial, mental health concerns on UCLA move to Big Ten

Being confused by statements that have absolutely nothing to do with my comment is a lack of intellect! Got it! Thanks for setting me straight!
I think any reasonable person agrees there's a crisis of leadership on the west coast and California in particular. If you think people who think like the PAC12 commissioner are rational, you're in the minority.

An alternative to having to "replace" UCLA (eg with Colorado, Oregon, etc) is just stay at 15 with only adding USC.
15 teams 9 conf games, 4 locked in rivalries every year, means you cycle through the remaining 10 teams every 2 years with the remaining 5 conf games.
Probably keeps the $$ per school per year the same, instead of adding another mouth to feed just to have even number of members.

I made a mistake thinking you're a reasonable person. My bad!
I just don't think they would leave it like that. They can easily fill with one more, just a matter of whom. Keep in mind they want more inventory to cover the new contract.

They potentially have to deal with it already in Boulder, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Pullman and even potentially in Eugene or Corvallis.
No biggie, IMO. Heck, even the Bay Area can be chilly in November.
Those places are all still quite a bit milder than Minneapolis, especially near the Pacific coast. Boulder would be the most comparable, but their November is more like our October.
Just looking at last November, Boulder's coldest high was 51. Minneapolis' was 26 and had 10 days where it didn't get out of the 20s and 30s. And both cities were above average temperatures overall for the month mainly due to the warm start as you mentioned earlier.
Reactions: Ope3
I think there is something to the acclimatization argument but with some warm up/exercise the body adapts. It's the wind chill/sub zero temps where things get interesting. Heat is much worse IMHO, and harder to adapt to.
Both teams will be suffering on a windy cold November morning, pretty much equally. Shady side or sunny side was a thing for awhile.

Pompous Elitist said:
Agreed. I would guess even Bruin or Trojan players would rather play a game with the temp in mid 30s than high 80s or warmer (all other factors equal).
If the regular season stretches or 1st Round BCS playoff games on home sites go into December, then weather be an issue.
I disagree but I think it's more psychological than it is physiological. I've even seen Big Ten teams (where their climate isn't drastically different like California's) come here and look thoroughly discouraged to be playing in frigid weather. I think our cold weather will be playing head games with them.

I have been to 4 UCLA games and a boxing match at the Rose Bowl. Never had a problem with the view, even near the top/corners, even when it's full. I am average height, at best.
Great place to see a game. My only issue is traffic nightmare getting out of the place.
I guess I wasn't totally convinced of the flat stadium theory anyway.
Word said:
I will be curious if they make the West Coast teams play at 11am Central/Noon Eastern which would be 9am Pacific. That to me would have a greater potential impact then playing in games in cool temps.
Seems like it would be foolish, since this is all about TV and would be harder to get eyeballs on the games that early.
Slight political comment (from a pretty liberal guy): the whole climate thing is absolutely grasping at straws. Period. End of story. It's not like their teams are taking solar powered trains up to Seattle and Eugene.
I was also extremely surprised to see that the salaries at UCLA are that much lower than in the B1G. I was having a conversation last Friday at a neighborhood get together with an Iowa graduate/fan who made some comment about how much tougher the league will be with USC/UCLA. I said that yes, USC was and could again be a major power, but UCLA will be like adding another Indiana or Illinois. They aren't a major program at this point. They don't even have a 100 yard practice field. They play 26 miles away from campus (and in LA traffic, that's a hike).
If they moved to SoFi, maybe that would help, but an on-campus stadium, where they control revenue etc. would be the best fit for them. I was going to suggest they play in Carson, where the Chargers played in the interim, but they'd be a sub-tenant to the MLS team, so that probably wouldn't work either.
Reactions: Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0, Gophers_4life and Holy Man
The bolded is just not correct.
It has already been confirmed by legal counsel that the UC Regents do indeed hold legal authority, according to state law and the UC bylaws, to block UCLA's move to the Big Ten, if they choose to do that.
The question is really if they would "dare" choose to do that.
Much like one has the legal authority to cut their own nose off to spite their own face.
Gophergrandpa
I think he's seen the low numbers that networks are offering the PAC12 for their new deal and has become desperate. And if for some bizarre reason UCLA ended up staying then Oregon/Wash would replace them in 2 seconds. He's f'd either way.
UCLA out and Stanford in as replacement; add Washington and Oregon. Put Nebraska in new West Division. Thank you.

Ski U Mah Gopher said:
I think that was the original goal, and maybe they're still trying.
But here's the thing: I don't think there's a chance in hell that the Big Ten and its TV partners didn't already do all the due diligence on what the TV contract numbers would look like for all various sorts of permutations of adding addition PAC members. All the way from just merging the two conferences, and likely down to just adding USC.
It would be absolutely in all parties interest to have done that.
And so, they could've added any other PAC schools at the time they announced USC & UCLA. But didn't.
That to me says that none of the others moved the needle like USC did, to the point where it was "the answer is yes, right now!"
They're trying to wait out Notre Dame. That's the real major fish left in the pond, save for ACC schools that are locked away for more years.
Goldmember said:
Well .... yeah!
You could easily end up being correct, that UCLA is in the conf come 2024. I just don't think it's a zero percent chance, for the reason of the legal authority of the UC regents. That's all I'm sayin
Inventory is a valid point. For sure.
It would be up to the TV partners. Unquestionably, the absolute total value of the TV contract would decrease, because it would only be for 15 teams worth instead of 16 teams worth. As you're saying.
I'm just saying that the worth per school would be the same or similar, because you're only dividing by 15 instead of 16.
But at the end of the day, it's what the TV partners agree to pay for, that matters.
noamfromm said:
True but PAC would also have an odd number at 11, so would think that the California schools would continue to do the scheduling dance that they all do in order to make room on the schedule for:
USC-Notre Dame, Stanford-Notre Dame, USC-UCLA, Cal-Stanford, USC-Stanford, Cal-UCLA.
U2Gopher said:
I'm not going to say your wrong, but I don't think this is a slam dunk that the regents can stop this. Sure, an attorney that represents the regents claims they have the power to do so, but I've read other articles that were linked from Cal and UCLA forums which reference other attorneys and school sources which say the regents don't have much ground to stand on to stop this. If the regents have the stomach to challenge this, a court will ultimately decide who has the most standing.
One thing I do find interesting, and I'm not saying it's a fact, is that I keep reading that if UCLA does leave without Cal, that UCLA may be forced to give some of the money earned from the Big10 to Cal to limit the financial damage they suffer from UCLA leaving the PAC-12. Seems ludicrous to me but every time I've read that, I see nothing from anyone disputing that the regents could actually take that step. Such a move though would seem to fit right in with the state of California. Now I don't know what percentage of dollars they could/would be forced to give Cal, but if it's as much as half, then why would this move to the Big10 be worth it to UCLA, given the increased costs that are going to come with joining the Big10? It's probably all destined for court.
I wouldn't be broken up if UCLA didn't come. I think I'd rather have Utah, Oregon or Washington.
This is the thing in question: https://policy.ucop.edu/_files/da/da1058.html
Note the last bullet point.
A lawyer can easily argue it either way. "It clearly says athletic agreements!" But on the other hand, "It clearly says 'except coaching contracts'. So you're telling me that the school switching its entire conference, for all sports, coaches, and student-athletes, is something that the Regents wouldn't care about, but they do care about reviewing and approving coaching contracts?? Come on!"
Have heard a similar thing you're talking about in the 2nd paragraph. I would call that the "UC regents lost the fight, but stabbed them in the eye on the way down" scenario.
Assuming Stanford won't come without Notre Dame, then I'd take Washington of the remaining, if forced to replace UCLA.

Q: Как разложить число на слагаемые в двумерный массив? Пример n = 4
l = [[1,1,1,1],[1,1,2],[1,3],[2,2],[4]]

Как это сделать?

A: foo(n, k) возвращает все разбиения числа n, в которых слагаемые не больше k.
foo(0, k) возвращает пустой список
Находим рекуррентное соотношение, как [i] + каждое разбиение из foo(n-i, i) для i = (0, min(n, k))
def foo(n, k = None):
    if k is None:
        k = n

    if n == 0:
        return []

    result = []
    if n <= k:
        result.append([n])
    for i in range(1, 1+min(n, k)):
        for l in foo(n-i, i):
            result.append(l + [i])

    return result

print(*foo(5), sep='\n')

[5]
[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 2]
[1, 2, 2]
[2, 3]
[1, 1, 3]
[1, 4]

То же, с list comprehension:
def foo(n, k = None):
    if k is None:
        k = n

    if n == 0:
        return []

    return ([[n]] if n<=k else []) + [
        l + [i]
        for i in range(1, 1+min(n, k))
        for l in foo(n-i, i)]

A: n = 4

def prepare_arr(arr, n):
  arr.append(arr[-1][:-2] + [arr[-1][-2] + arr[-1][-1]] if len(arr) else [1] * n)

  if len(arr[-1]) != 1:
    prepare_arr(arr, n)

  return arr

print(prepare_arr([], n)[:-1])

но для получения всех слагаемых алгоритм конечно иной несколько, да и всех слагаемых чуть больше
ну или так:
n = 4

arr = [[1] * (n - i) + [i] for i in range(1, n)]

print(arr)

Mayne: can Cormann (and Stuart Robert) fix our broken campaign finance system?
As a previous advocate of campaign finance reform, it shouldn't take much to get Turnbull over the line.
When the February 1 donations dump landed two weeks ago today, I optimistically predicted in Crikey that the stars were aligning for some long-overdue campaign finance reform in Australia.
At the time, we didn't know who would be Australia's next special minister of state — the minister responsible for campaign finance — and we were a week away from the game-changing scandal that engulfed Stuart Robert.
On Saturday, Malcolm Turnbull appointed Finance Minister Matthias Cormann to permanently replace Mal Brough. He'd been acting Special Minister of State since December 29.
We await to see if Cormann will be anything like John Faulkner, who released this comprehensive 102-page green paper on electoral funding reform in December 2008. Eight years later, nothing has changed and Australia still has the weakest system of campaign finance regulation and disclosure of any Western democracy.
With a centralised executive chairman model of governance in Canberra, it was Turnbull, not the special minister of state, who took the running on the Stuart Robert scandal last week, although he avoided committing to any reforms of the donations system.
The PM quickly deflected to his departmental secretary Martin Parkinson, and within three days a report had been produced that ended Robert's ministerial career, presumably for good.
However, it was really the universality of the views across the media and Labor opposition that finished Robert off at a political level. When Murdoch tabloids are putting you on the front page all week and editorialising for your resignation, there is nowhere to go.
The Robert issue has led to unprecedented media discussion about Australia's woeful system of campaign finance regulation and disclosure.
Seven Network political editor Mark Riley told Insiders yesterday that the system needs reform. Host Barrie Cassidy complained the previous week that it lacked transparency.
However, none of this has translated to any direct questioning of relevant federal ministers or the PM. Cormann has been silent and invisible during the public debate about donations, campaign finance and ministerial behaviour.
Remarkably, Robert has seemingly got away with his breaches, with no suggestion that his future as an LNP member of Parliament is in question. He hasn't been forced to provide detailed answers to questions in Parliament or in public, and the Parkinson report has not even been publicly released. Scott Morrison is presumably happy to keep him on as a Canberra flatmate with intimate access to the pinnacle of Treasury policy-making.
The Robert scandal is a strong example of the governance gap in Canberra from the failure of successive governments of both colours to establish a federal anti-corruption watch dog. With Robert now on the backbench, it leaves Labor with the only option of going to the federal police, which it did over the weekend. However, these police investigations are long, controversial and don't operate in public, as is demonstrated by the current situation with Brough.
Robert's selfish decision to tough it out all week, rather than resign on the morning of Ellen Whinnett's first remarkable Herald Sun splash last Monday, has further dented the whole political class in the eyes of the public.
The overall narrative has now become "a pox on both your houses" and "you're all a bunch of rorters", which was best captured in this Peter van Onselen column in The Weekend Australian. The Herald Sun's Shaun Carney was almost as tough in this column, which flogged Morrison for his defence of Robert. Even Joe Hildebrand lampooned Robert in this piece for The Daily Telegraph.
Unless the Lib-Lab duopoly get together and tackle the voter perception about rorting, campaign finance and entitlements, the Greens, independents and Nick Xenophon's new party will have some rich anti-establishment turf to work over in the coming federal election campaign.
Don't be surprised if Bill Shorten gets out there early on campaign finance reform, similar to his front-footed work on the tax debate this weekend.
Xenophon has achieved his staggering popularity in South Australia on the back of staunchly respecting public funds and keeping the bastards honest. He always flies economy, abhors special interests and has long campaigned for donation reform.
Based on his roll-out of candidates against the likes of Tony Abbott and Jamie Briggs, you would expect the Nick Xenophon Team to stand a candidate against Stuart Robert. His safe Gold Coast seat of Fadden enjoyed a 14.19% margin at the 2013 election, although this was distorted by Palmer United polling 14.67%.
There are some processes underway that could lead to campaign finance reform, but as The Guardian's Lenore Taylor lamented last month, these are often frustrated.
Liberal-friendly developer Jeff McCloy failed in his 2015 High Court challenge against the ban on NSW developer donations.
However, Turnbull seemed cautious when independent Senator John Madigan got another campaign finance investigation up in October last year.
This is in complete contrast to NSW Premier Mike Baird, who is fully committed to this package of recommendations from an independent review panel in NSW.
As a previous advocate of campaign finance reform, it shouldn't take much to get Turnbull over the line. An editorial in The Australian, a Laurie Oakes column in next Saturday's News Corp tabloids, some inquiries by Four Corners, a 60 Minutes special report would all potentially do the job.
As Crikey recently noted, the media is as much to blame as anyone else for Australia's woeful donations laws. If there is no commitment to change from both sides going into the federal election, it will be another media and political failure for the Australian democratic project.
Let's not waste the Stuart Robert scandal.

It's not unexpected, of course, to find there's no more interest at Crikey than there is among the Capitalist colleagues in genuine reform, so it's scant wonder so many of your loyal camp followers haven't been sure how to respond on this thread, is it.
AnisaS
…the words 'fox' and 'henhouse' spring to mind.
Given that we have these computey-type thingies, I don't expect it would be overly difficult to produce donations data on a regular basis, let's say 3 months in arrears, just in case there are people there who will need training to find the on-button on their black box screen thingies.
Then we can look at publishing Ministerial diaries, noting attendees, purpose of meeting ( a pithy one-liner would be more than sufficient), and to help them get their affairs in order, let's say that could be two weeks in arrears.
We could even employ computer guys to set it up for them. The only excuse for non-recording of meetings would be 'national security'. Meetings with political colleagues can all be settled under the heading 'parliamentary or party business'. I'm not asking them to give up their secrets.
But no lobbyist or head of a corporate body should ever be able to meet a Minister without the meeting being scheduled and a one-liner at least on discussion topics.
That might make question time interesting, and government accountable.
Kampbell
Does crikey provide Norman Hanscombe an advance copy of the daily articles, so that he many comment on everything first?

Robert Burd at the OSHP Wilmington post.
The chase started at 4:45 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 71 South near the Greene/Fayette county line. Burd said troopers noted a suspicious vehicle after the license plate did not match the vehicle.
Burd said Tobin reportedly would not stop and speeds increased. Burd said the suspect quickly exited onto U.S. 68 and the pursuit continued.
During the pursuit the suspect vehicle made contact with two cruisers from the OSHP Wilmington post, Burd said. Two troopers inside one cruiser were injured when the cruiser went spinning into a ditch, Burd said.
Burd said the two troopers were treated and released at a hospital for hip, joint and back pain.
Their cruiser was totaled and a second one will be repaired, Burd said.
Tobin will also face other traffic citations. He was traveling left of center during the chase which reached top speeds of 70 mph, Burd said.
Tobin was driving in a vehicle stolen out of Lancaster, Ohio, with license plates stolen off a second car in that area.
After hitting the two cruisers, Tobin continued driving in the damaged stolen vehicle. On U.S. 68 south of U.S. 35, troopers from Xenia deployed stop sticks which did strike Tobin's tires, but he continued driving away.
The chase ended around 5:30 a.m. with Tobin being taken into custody by Xenia police and Xenia OSHP troopers in the area of North Detroit Street.
Burd said it's not uncommon to pursue a suspect for an extended period of time. He said traffic was light in the area and police units remained with the suspect vehicle at all times.
"I've chased people across states," Burd said.
The Greene County Sheriff's Office also assisted.
